If Simon Cowell was bothered at all by Paula Abdul’s departure, he might feel better when Katy Perry comes to town. In an interview with E! News, the future guest judge claims she is a fan of the critic.

Perry, who isn’t planning to bring a “build them up, Buttercup” approach to the show, predicts she and Cowell might form a nice bond. “I might become a little bit of a buddy with Simon. Because whenever I watch that show, as much as he’s an a**hole, he is a very truthful, honest a**hole.”

Jennifer LopezAs they say, the show must go on.

The producers of Project Runway had planned to introduce another surprise judge for this season’s upcoming. And thanks to an interesting twist of fate, they now will.

As rumored, fashionista had been scheduled to play guest judge for the show’s Fashion Week finale. (Her appearance would have followed the job done by Victoria Beckham in Season 4.) Unfortunately, a last-minute foot injury forced the style icon to bow out of today’s taping.

It’s not known whether the injury was somehow related to Lopez’ current triathlon training. It also wasn’t made clear why Jennifer couldn’t still judge while sitting down.

Fortunately for the producers, they didn’t have to go far to find a knowledgeable replacement. For the first time in five installments, mentor will be given his chance to have a say in the final selection.

Now, really—wasn’t this the way it should have been anyway?

Mariah CareyAny person with a shred of common sense knows—you shouldn’t go on aiming to sing anything by Whitney Houston, Celine Dion or Christina Aguilera.  Not only will the decision set you up for comparison, it’s likely you’ll end up in a world of embarrassment.

So why then would the producers schedule a whole night dedicated to ?  Isn’t that the last thing Randy, Paula and Simon would want the contestants to do?

During a recent exit interview, Michael Johns revealed he would have attempted a version of “Vision of Love” during next week’s show.  (Of course, his early exit means we are now being spared that potentially questionable rendition.)  But what does this mean for the rest of them?  Which records could David Cook, Jason Castro, Brooke White or Carly Smithson possibly sing?

I’m predicting Archuleta will take on “One Sweet Day”.  Make your guesses for the rest of them now!
